Safety warnings
•
CAUTION!
– This manual contains important instructions and warnings
for personal safety.
Wrong installation can cause serious injuries. Before start-
ing work read all the manual carefully. If in doubt, stop installation and ask the
Nice Assistance Department for clarifications.
•
CAUTION
! – According to the most recent European legislation, the re-
alisation of an automatic door or gate must comply with the regulations
of Directive 98/37/CE (Machine Directive) and in particular, standards EN
12445; EN 12543; EN 12635 and EN 13214-1, which declare the pre-
sumed conformity of the automation.
In consideration of this
, all the in-
stallation, connection, inspection and maintenance operations of the
product must be performed exclusively by a qualified and competent
technician!
•
CAUTION!
– Important instructions: keep this manual for any possible fu-
ture requirement for maintenance and disposal of the product.
Warnings for installation
• Before installing check if this product is suited to automating your gate or
door (see chapter 3 and “Technical features of the product”). If unsuitable, DO
NOT proceed with the installation.
• Include a disconnection device in the power supply system with an opening
distance between the contacts to permit full disconnection in the conditions
dictated by the category of surcharge III.
•
All the installation and maintenance operations must occur with the
automation disconnected from the electrical power supply.
If the discon-
nection device of the power supply is not visible from the area where the
automatism is located, before starting the work it is necessary to attach a
sign with the text “CAUTION! MAINTENANCE IN PROGRESS” on the dis-
connection device.
• During installation handle the automatism with care avoiding crushing,
knocks, falls or contact with liquids of any kind. Do not place the product
near sources of heat, or expose it to naked flames. All these activities can
damage and cause malfunctions or dangerous situations. If this occurs, stop
the installation immediately and contact the Nice Assistance Department.
• Do not make alterations to any part of the product. Operations which are not
permitted will cause only malfunctions. The manufacturer declines any liabili-
ty for damage caused by arbitrary alterations to the product.
• If the gate or the door to be automated is fitted with a pedestrian door it is
necessary to include a control system in the installation to prevent the opera-
tion of the motor when the pedestrian door is open.
• Check there are no trapping points towards fixed parts when the leaf of the
gate is in the maximum
Open
position, if necessary protect these parts.
• The push button control on the wall must be positioned in sight of the
automation, away from the moving parts, at a minimum height of 1.5 m from
the ground and it must not be accessible to the public.
• The product packaging material must be disposed of respecting the local
regulations in force.
GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS AND
PRECAUTIONS
1
This product is intended to be used for automating swing gates or doors in an
exclusively residential context.
CAUTION!
– Any other use different to that
described and in ambient conditions different to those set out in this man-
ual is to be considered improper and forbidden!
The product is an electromechanical gear motor, equipped with a 24 v continu-
ous current and an endless screw reduction gear.
The gear motor is powered by the external control unit to which it is connected.
In the event of a black out, it is possible to move the gate leaves by hand, un-
blocking the gear motor manually.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PRODUCT
AND ENVISAGED USE
2
3.1 - Checks before installation
Before installation, check the integrity of the components, suitability of the model
chosen and suitability of the environment chosen for the installation.
IMPORTANT
– The gear motor cannot automate a manual gate which does
not have a safe and efficient mechanical structure. Furthermore, it cannot
solve the faults caused by wrong installation or bad maintenance of the
gate itself.
3.2 - Suitability of the gate to being automated and the sur-
rounding environment
• Check the mechanical structure of the gate is suited to being automated and
conforms to the national laws in force (
if necessary make reference to the data
on the gate label
).
• Moving the gate leaf manually in Open and Close position, check the move-
ment occurs with equal and constant attrition at each point of the stroke
(there
must be no moments of greater effort
).
• Check the gate leaf remains balanced, that it does not move if brought man-
ually to any position and left stopped.
• Check the space around the gear motor allows to manually unblock the gate
leaf, easily and safely.
• Check the surfaces chosen for installing the product are solid and can guar-
antee stable fixing.
• Check the fixing zone of the gear motor is compatible with the size of the lat-
ter, see
fig. 2
: the correct
Opening
movement of the gate and the force the
motor exerts to perform it, depend on the position in which the rear fixing
bracket is secured. Therefore, before installing it is necessary to make reference
to
graph 2
to define the maximum
Opening
angle of the leaf and the force of
the motor, suited to the individual system.
3.3 - Limits of use of the product
Before installing the product, check the gate leaf is the right size and weight and
falls within the limits shown in
graph 1.
3.4 - Preparing for installation

shows an example of an automation system designed with
Nice
compo-
nents. These components are positioned according to a typical and usual scheme.
